Still...it is around 500 light years away. With the proposed FTL drives being investigated, it would take 50 years to reach (upper limit presently at 10 times the speed of light).

I don't think it would be wise to sell your citizens property and livelihood like that as if you own them. XP
Besides Russia have already stolen it anyway and there's no reason for them to pay up.

By the time the investigation will be over, I really want to know why this whole rescue operation took so long according to the chronology of events. Especially why they did not bring anything to stabilize the ship and cut a few holes through the hull to save the living above all. |

Also. Some of the reports I've heard seem to indicate the diving conditions here are VERY bad. To the point where diving at all is dangerous...which kinda makes all the dramatic indignation of every amateur diver complaining that they're not being allowed to help out a bit annoying. Something bad happens, and energy has to be diverted to rescue the rescuers.
